Galen 170 Exam 2 Revision Questions
With Correct Solutions.
hemorrhagic stroke - Answer a cerebrovascular accident caused by the rupture of a cerebral
blood vessel
aphasia - Answer impairment of language, usually caused by left hemisphere damage either to
Broca's area (impairing speaking) or to wernicke's area (impairing understanding)
aphasia is - Answer impairment of language, usually caused by Left Hemisphere damage to
Brocas area or Wernickes.
right sided hemiplegia - Answer paralysis on the right or left side of the body
Wernicke's - Answer clear speech, recognition not correct, "word salad", brain not working, in
the temporal lobe in left hemisphere
Broca's - Answer BRAIN AREA OF THE FRONTAL LOBE LEFT HEMISPHERE THAT DIRECTS
MUSCLE MOVEMENTS INVOLVED IN SPEECH
Global (stroke) - Answer results from severe hypotension or extreme drops in cardiac output
resulting in poor brain persusion and damage
Ischemic stroke - Answer commonly caused by narrowing of the carotid arteries
Ischemic stroke is - Answer Thrombotic-blockage
Embolic= clot from circulatory system
Ischemic
Thrombotic Stroke - Answer A subcategory of Ischemic strokes that accounts for more than
half of all strokes.Commonly associated with the development of atherosclerosis (plaque
development on the inner wall of a blood vessel).
, modifiable risk factors stroke - Answer HTN, cardiovascular disease, obesity, Diabetes,
Smoking, ETOH, illicit drug use, hyperlipidemia, physical inactivity, birth control pills, poor diet
transient ischemic attack (TIA) - Answer A disorder of the brain in which brain cells temporarily
stop working because of insufficient oxygen, causing strokelike symptoms that resolve
completely within 24 hours of onset.
Atherosclerosis - Answer the most common form of CVD; a disease characterized by plaques
along the inner walls of the arteries.
difference between a transient ischemic attack (TIA) and a stroke - Answer stroke effects are
perminant, TIA's are resolved w/i days sometimes hours
patient teaching for dysphagia - Answer ...
Autonomic nervous system - Answer The part of the peripheral nervous system that controls
the glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as the heart). Its sympathetic division
arouses; its parasympathetic (rest & digest) division calms.
Central nervous system - Answer Brain and spinal cord.
Reflexes mechanisms - Answer allow quick response to potentially harmful event without
having to wait for brain to process information
Blood brain barrier - Answer Specialized membranes that surround the blood vessels within
the brain and filter harmful chemicals out of the brain's blood supply.
Main Parts of the brain - Answer cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, and diencephalon
Frontal lobe - Answer Associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement,
emotions, and problem solving, responsible for voluntary muscle movement and personality
Temporal lobe - Answer Located in the lower, central area of the brain around the ear.
Primarily involved with hearing, but the association area plays an important role in memory and
